Cheers does the position of the gearstick measure easy from any point on the chassis so I can ensure I get it in the correct place?
Sit in your chassis, decide which position suits yourself, and then position the gearbox. I widened my transmission tunnel, making it narrower at the
top than at the bottom. This has given me plenty of room for the pedals.
Hope that makes sense.
Can send you a couple of pics if I can find them!
Regards, Ian.

Mine misses everything by about 10mm and the bellhousing sits well back to the battery shelf. I built the tunnel round the engine position.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Gearbox position vs. gearchange extension is a trade-off... if you move the gearbox back you lose footwell space - and I've got big feet!
Because of that I extended the shift - easy as that.
If you've got smallish or narrowish feet, then moving the gearbox back is a good move.

On a type 9 or Cortina or 2000e box the tip of the gearbox tailshaft usually is in line with chassis member B2.

I've angled the tunnel so that the footwell is narrower on the floor and wider at the top. This has resulted in there being plenty of room at
pedal height. That said, I've got diddy size 81/2's, but have plenty of room even with hiking boots on.
